Tell Gov. Cuomo – No Meadowlands Power Plant!

Take a stand for the people and environment in the NY/NJ region – call NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo @ 877-235-6537 and urge him to block a massive fracked gas power plant proposed for the Meadowlands in North Bergen, NJ.

Governor Cuomo has clear authority to stop the project. All of the electricity would be sent to New York. It would require several New York permits and approvals, including for a massive cable in the Hudson River.

The power plant would endanger the health of nearby residents, including New Yorkers just three miles away from the project. Exposure to air pollutants from fracked gas projects are linked to cancer and other health impacts.

The project threatens efforts to restore and preserve the Meadowlands, home to many species crucial to our ecosystem.

The project would also maintain New York’s reliance on dirty fossil fuels, undermining a transition to renewable energy and increasing the risk of climate catastrophe.
